_________________________

Budget release of Assassin which was updated. The main player now has an arm LASER instead of the boomerang weapon in the first game, a mission was cut and layout and pick-ups were updated.

Side-scrolling beat-em-up in the style of Turrican and Strider. The basic storyline is that you're a top assassin (hence the title) dropped behind enemy lines in search of the evil tyrant, Midan. You must navigate his highly complex underground lair, defeating all manner of baddies, until you finally put an end to his evil deeds.

There are a variety of weapons (including your standard boomerang!) and powerups to help you along your way through the five different levels.
